For price and location this fits the bill. Friendly and helpful staff - very nice breakfast. Room bit small - but adequate for a short stay. No noise heard from my room on the fifth floor although believe my room was at rear. Hotel itself is situated in a small side street but don't let this put you off. More

Great location and value. Although the rooms are small, the prices are also small. Perfect service. The breakfast was average. Waffles available on afternoons. Sound between rooms are almost non-existent. But easy to hear people in the hallway. Also when windows is open, there is alot of sound from outside (but what more to expect this central in Oslo?). Sound... More

Rica Travel is the hotel when we are in Oslo for job reasons or for private visits. It is centrally located and clean and very nice indeed. It does have two faults, however: The very nice breakfast is marred by a less than satisfactory coffee, and (worse!), the beds are never real double beds, they are single beds placed together,...

I travelled here for a one-week work assignment in Oslo city at end of October 2011. Chose this hotel largely because of price-plus-location. Location is central and easy walking to shops, bars, restaurants and all things usual for a city centre. Rooms are certainly small, but having travelled extensively in the UK this wasn't a surprise and room facilities are... More

Likely a norm in Norway, but we couldn't get past the size of the room. We almost had to brush each other's teeth it was so tiny. If you can't afford to stay in a nicer place with reasonable room sizes, I'd consider shortening your stay purely for sanity's sake. The breakfast was good - which is important considering the...

Hotel managers, chains in particular, always focus on how to make the enterprise a profitable one. That's an understandable, even acceptable notion, but it is also a tricky one. Because if they, as in this instance, only keep the focus on putting a maximum number of single beds into miniscule rooms without a trace of hospitality or athmosphere, the guests... More

Single room was tiny with no view, but actually had almost everything I needed, including free wifi and a very comfortable bed. Only thing I missed was aircon. The location can't be beaten, being just a few metres from Karl Johans Gata, ten minutes from the waterfront, tourist information office, hop on hop off bus stop and a few metres... More

The location is excellent being close to the city centre. Being so close does have its downsides. Saturday ight very very noisy with the nightclub and bar next door. The other nights were fine. We had a family room which was a very good size. Breakfast was very good for the class of hotel. The rooms was clean and bed... More

I liked Oslo so much that if i come back for pleasure i'd stay there... More

Speedy in and check-out and friendly service. Good central location. Room was one of the best I've stayed in on the 6th floor. Probably lower floors do not have the same standard. Tea and coffee making facilities, good shower room, large double bed. Breakfast wasn't the largest selection but more than adequate. Good with early start at 6.30 and not... More
